Best Italian Restaurants in Lakewood / Bellflower

Everything was good but the service. It was sprinkling outside and it started to come down harder. We asked our server if we go move inside. He didn’t seem to care much. When another server or hostess came by we asked her and we immediately got moved inside as it started to rain. Our server also forgot to input our bone marrow appetizer as that came in last. I had to remind another server or floor manager about the issue. Again our original server never bothered to check on us. We got moved to another section with another server. She also didn’t care much. I had to wave her down a couple times or even ask the food runner to ask. I understand Bestia is busy and chaotic. I work in the good industry as well. But if I’m paying for my food + your 4% I’m expecting a good service

The waiter was very professional and well versed and experienced. The Halibut was a little dry but the 3 other meals were perfect. The seafood pasta was light in sauce and not overwhelming like other places. Just right and not too creamy. Salads were amazing Pricing was a little high mostly due to high alcohol costs. for example, the Rombauer should NOT be $40 a glass when you can buy a bottle of it at the store for that. We had 3 drinks and 4 cmplete meals without appetizers for $519. You can compare from there.

It was my birthday. It was my second visit and the rest of my family’s first time. They loved the food, the service was fast and delicious. We had a great time. Would definitely be back again!

Great ambience and delicious food. Helpful and pleasant staff. We got seated right away and timing of service was good. Plenty of time for a relaxed meal before the theatre.

First time and we’ll definitely be back. Great ambiance (sax player was great). The entire team was super friendly and we loved speaking with the owner. The backyard setting is super cute! Everyone loved what they ordered,
